DavieG Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 but du cud ergue dat der's nae smoke wioot fire. tho obviously i'm spekulatin on dis point. and oot o curiosity whits a visable or credible third party? dus it metter wha it comes fae? shudnt any potentially detrimental action be luked intae and verified/dismissed thro oot an oot knoledge? widna want onything to muck up da great wirk dus aa bin daing so fer[ Possibly quite true but this to date has only come fro one source and as has been made clear earlier in this thread there seems to me to be something personal in this and I still hear the sound of private axes being ground to some extent at least. What I mean by visable and credible is quite simply any one who has made themselves directly known to me and who has actually witnessed this happening first hand. None to date so far. Its a very serious insinuation and as such all I'm saying is that I would prefer to hear it from someone up front not a single source that we cannot identify or verify who has alreay pinned their personal colours and issues to the mast earlier in this thread.

jim-jam Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 The campaigners are doing an excellent job and I think it's a little unfair to suggest that they're employing some sort of underhand tactics without any proof. I saw the boys with the collection buckets in da pub last night. They were certainly visible (wearing campaign tshirts) and they were very polite. I donated a few quid purely volenterilly and felt under no pressure at all. They didn't need to hassle folk as people were going out of their way to get to them and donate. There was people I was out with who didn't wish to donate, and no one suggested that this was anything other than their personal choice. Keep up the good work folks.

rangerover Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 You might not have seen them clearly as they were almost hiden by people running to donate to the cause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustMe Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Ok lads and lasses....the important thing right now is to ensure that Sakachi walks out of the next court free to stay in Shetland. To that extent, and bearing in mind that some of the postings here will be read by helpers in the south, maybe for the Sakachi threads it might be a good idea to drop all the dialect postings and revert to The Queens English.......certainly since it is in an English court that Sakachi's fate will be decided.

peeriebryan Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 A quick reminder about the online campaign donation function. It's a 'Paypal' charity donation system which accepts most major credit cards. There's been donations from all over the world since the account was started a few days ago There's more info in the Deportation of Sakchai Makao - ePetition/ info/ links section. You can go directly to the donation page by clicking here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rangerover Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Derick, Broadside on target, "thinks 2" is spot on, so let's turn up the pressure and give them all them MPs etc some mails to read on Monday Morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavieG Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 "... maybe for the Sakachi threads it might be a good idea to drop all the dialect postings and revert to The Queens English...." I think this is probably a very good idea seeing as how this post is so widely read and, from many points of view anyway, so important to the campaign. I have used a bit o dialect myself but yes I think it would be good for all if we were to keep it straightforward for everybody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
